Did you buy it in Morrison's? I bought one last week, but got pack of 5 last spring, I got some little ones off the sides for cuttings in the autumn and it's surviving the cold and growing really well now.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Yes it's biennial. I leave them where they land but that's usually right up against the edge of the garden and they're vicious. I'm going to try and move a few this year and see how they cope. Have to wait til they show themselves first though. It's all about waiting for something this spring though.
Oh god yes I did mean bees haha, I'm browsing plants on ebay at the moment too so bit of a distraction Thankyou for the link, just about to check it out and no I havent heard of Eryngium Giganteum..Is it easy to grow and do you know how?
Ryan, I bought some plants from Touchwood gardens which I saw on ebay. Because I live nearby, I called there to pick them up and they were dug up in my presence and I had them in the ground pretty soon afterwards. Just thought I'd let you know that I was pleased with what I got.
I dont suppose Gardening Grandma that you have the full title of one of their products, just so I can then get onto their shop, as it's proving impossible to find them at the moment?

nutcutlet are they your eryngium? They're stunning! Definitely giving them ago, infact, I'm going to b&q tomorrow to buy some! How do you sow them?
And Lyn, are they still on sale at Morrisons?
